Chapter 34

My grades are bad, even worse than last week, I'm on the verge of tears! Give me some votes!

Xu Jin saw the actions of the outer hall disciples and was very displeased. He sternly rebuked them:

"What are you doing? Get back!"

The outer hall disciples, upon hearing Xu Jin's rebuke, realized who they were speaking to. They were startled, their eyes revealing fear, and they reluctantly retreated. However, in an instant, their eyes also showed concern for Xu Ziyun.

If this had happened to any other outer hall disciple, Xu Jin would not only have ignored it, but he would have punished the disciple when they returned, at the very least scolding them. However, Xu Jin greatly admired Xu Ziyun. After the battle with the beast, he had a better understanding of her. He did not believe that Xu Ziyun had left on purpose; there must be something he did not know.

Looking at the two inner hall disciples, Xu Jin thought for a moment and asked softly:

"Think carefully, was there anything different about Xu Ziyun when she left?"

"There was nothing different! She just said she was leaving for a while," one of the disciples said dejectedly.

The other disciple thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he hesitantly said to Xu Jin:

"I remember, when she left, I felt that her aura was different."

"How different?"

Xu Jin asked urgently, and the other outer hall disciples opened their eyes wide, staring intently at the inner hall disciple.

"Um! It was a bit restless, as if she was about to break through."

"Hmm?" Xu Jin was startled and blurted out, "Could she be about to break through?"

He continued, "But why didn't she break through here, and instead leave?"

The disciple who had mentioned Xu Ziyun's breakthrough spoke softly, "Senior Brother, could it be that she was afraid her breakthrough would affect our meditation, so she left?"

"Oh! That's possible!"

Xu Jin could only accept this explanation. He looked up at everyone and said, "Alright, everyone take turns on guard duty, and don't talk about this anymore."

Xu Ziyun walked alone in the snow, the dense snowflakes making it impossible to see far. She released her divine sense, probing the surroundings repeatedly, hoping to find her way back. However, after half an hour, the surroundings were still a vast expanse of white, with no familiar landmarks.

Continuously releasing her divine sense, she walked through the vast snowy field, gradually becoming distracted. She stopped looking for her way back and her divine sense gradually merged with the snow again.

However, this time, the merging was not a sudden enlightenment but a gradual one, and her consciousness was completely clear. When she merged with the snow again, she found her body seemed to become lighter, transparent, and disappeared, just like a snowflake. With the wind, her body rose gracefully into the air, drifting in the sky.

Xu Ziyun was initially startled, then overjoyed. A thought flashed through her mind:

"Is this what the books describe as sensing nature, merging with nature, and then controlling nature?"

Xu Ziyun suppressed her excitement and tried to control her trajectory. At first, she found she could not control this natural force and could only drift with the wind like a snowflake.

So, she closed her eyes, completely immersing her mind in the snow, pondering the trajectory of the snowflakes, the wind, and their interaction. Gradually, she fully merged with the wind and snow. At this moment, she was the wind, and the wind was her. She was the snow, and the snow was her.

Her eyes suddenly opened, and with a thought, Xu Ziyun's body changed its trajectory, drifting diagonally, like a snowflake but faster, leaving a beautiful trail in the air.

"Ha ha ha..."

Xu Ziyun laughed excitedly in the air, her body drifting with her will. She thought happily:

"I have mastered the power of snow. As long as it snows, I can fly freely and have the ability to hide. Does this power of snow have other abilities?"

With a thought, Xu Ziyun stopped flying and stood in the air. She raised her right hand, extended a finger, and with a thought, an ice spike extended from her finger, crystal clear and sharp, with a cold gleam.

Xu Ziyun flicked her finger, and the ice spike shot out with a whistling sound, disappearing into the snowy night.

Xu Ziyun raised both hands, spread her fingers, and with a thought, an ice spike extended from each of her ten fingers. She flicked all ten fingers, and ten ice spikes shot out, whistling.

Xu Ziyun's eyes shone with wisdom. She brought her hands together in front of her chest and suddenly pulled them apart. Instantly, a dense row of ice spikes, numbering nearly a thousand, appeared between her palms.

She flipped her palms outward and shouted:

"Go!"

Nearly a thousand ice spikes, with a piercing whistling sound, shot toward the night sky.

"Ha ha ha..."

Xu Ziyun laughed joyfully, flapping her arms and flying happily in the night sky, leaving a trail of silver laughter.

After flying for a while, Xu Ziyun released her joy and tried to understand a few more abilities of the power of snow. However, she could not grasp any new abilities. Xu Ziyun knew that the flying technique she had mastered was the true power of snow, while the ice spikes were an advanced form of the power of snow, the power of ice. Due to her cultivation level, this was her limit. If she wanted to understand more, she needed to continuously improve her cultivation.

Putting aside cultivation, Xu Ziyun realized it was already dawn, but the sun was hidden by the heavy snow and dark clouds. She determined a direction and flew through the snow. She planned to fly a hundred miles in one direction, and if she did not see her companions, she would change direction.

After a hundred miles, Xu Ziyun still did not find any signs of people, so she changed direction and flew urgently. After half an hour, she heard voices from below. She concealed herself in the snow, and to outsiders, she looked like a snowflake drifting down.

Finally, Xu Ziyun saw the people below. They were not from the Xu family but from the Xiao family, guarding the Changri Valley. The Xiao family members were casually guarding the valley entrance, chatting with each other:

"Bro, we've been guarding all night, and we haven't seen a single beast. In this freezing snow, we're just suffering in the cold. Do you think the city lord got the wrong information?"
